”H. Rittel, M. Webber
Societal problems are inherently different from the problems
that scientists and perhaps some classes of engineers deal with.
They are inherently ‘wicked’.
H. Rittel, M. Webber (1973) Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning
Wicked problems
don’t have clearly defined boundaries.
Wicked problems
don’t have a point when they are solved.
Wicked problems
have always more than one explanation.
Wicked problems
solution attempts change the problem definition.
Wicked problems
require full responsibility.
Wicked problems
bleed into one another.
Wicked problems
have no solution template.
Wicked problems
are interconnected to each other.
Wicked problems
have no scientific approach.
Wicked problems
are unique.

FOUNDATION OF DESIGN THINKING
PART II
“
”John Chris Jones, Design Method
Designers are forever bound to treat as real that which exists only in an imagined
future and have to specify ways in which the foreseen thing can be made to exist.
Humans
Solution First vs ProblemISSUE
No real understanding
Too close to the problemISSUE
No view of context
“
”Manifesto Ibridi
Keeping up with global complexity demands a conscious understanding of our
cognitive, psychological, physiological peculiarities, and of their limits.
Open → Close
ISSUE Opening without closing
No Focus, No Goal
ISSUE Closing too soon
Bias, Prejudice
“”Dave Gray
The most enlightening moments came from understanding and applying
the Open – Explore – Close phases.
Iterate
ISSUE Iteration of one
Not really a loop
ISSUE Iterate without vision
Not going anywhere
“”Bruce Lee
Be water my friend.
Incremental + Radical Innovation
ISSUE Fear of jumping
No real change
ISSUE People resistance to change
Expect and manage
“
”Verganti & Norman
Incremental innovation is necessary to transform the radical idea into a form that is acceptable
to those beyond early adopters.
Verganti & Norman, Incremental and Radical Innovation
Experiment
ISSUE Fear of failure
Failure is intrinsic
ISSUE Failing without learning
Learn and build up
“
”Sarah Soule
Design thinking stresses the need to rapidly prototype the solution
so that the designers can get feedback as quickly as possible.
DESIGN THINKINGPART III
“
”Tim Brown, IDEO
Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and
the requirements for business success.
Understand & specify the
context of use
Specify the user &
organizational requirements
Produce design
solutions
Evaluate design against
requirements
Identify need of user centered design
System meets specified functional, user & organizational requirements
USER CENTERED DESIGN: ISO 13407 (1999)

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
THIS IS A SPEED RUN
There are many more kinds of activities that can be done.

”Bruno Munari
To complicate is easy, to simplify is hard. To complicate, just add,
everyone is able to complicate. Few are able to simplify.
